While some choose to
ignore the law, Griffin noted
many local pet owners use
leashes while walking with
their furry friends.
“They’re responsible pet
owners,” she said, adding that
owners who fail to restrain
their dogs might be placing
their pets in harm’s way, mak-
ing them susceptible to fatal
road mishaps and other acci-
dents.
Taking care of your dog by
restraining him will prevent
such heartbreaks, she said. But
should you see a dog roaming

A player GAVE AWAY the Heisman Trophy he won-but it was one of the most
emotional events in college football history...John Cappelletti of Penn State won the
Heisman in 1973...At the awards ceremony that year, Cappelletti said he never would
have won the trophy without the motivation from his 11-year-old brother, Joey, who
was fighting leukemia...During his acceptance speech, without a dry eye in the room,
John said, “They say I showed courage on the football field, but Joey lives in pain all
the time. His courage is round the clock. I want him to have the trophy. It’s more his
than mine because he’s been such an inspiration.”...With that, John gave the
Heisman Trophy to Joey who kept it by his bed until he died 2 years later.
Which player has the most Super Bowl rings?...He’s Charles Haley—with

Amazingly, one college has gone to a football game THIRTY-TWO consecutive
years—an NCAA record...What college holds that record?...Answer:
Nebraska...They’ve gone to a bowl every year since 1969.
I bet you didn’t know Hyundai has its first sport utility vehicle, the Santa Fe. This
amazing new product features an available V6 engine, all wheel drive and four speed
automatic transmission with manual sport shift controls. All this and a ten

ranty makes the new Santa Fe an exceptional value. The styling is fresh and con-
temporary and you can see one today on display at Huffines Hyundai.
